I've probably spent about $500 in the first month and a 1/2 since I started vaping seriously. I had bought a mod a while back for $60 with 2 batteries and a charger but I rarely used it as it was a mess with a little consistency and that frustrated me. I then started stopping by the shops and getting info on better mods and that spawned an earnest attempt to quit smoking. It's been hard but I think I'm finally getting the vape idea down.
